Excellent range, Top performing router at 5 GHz N, very good in 11ac mode, Advanced features, Business-class capabilities
Some sluggish performance in the interface, Connected clients lost Internet connectivity a few times
More technical and small business users including those wanting a true VPN server, robust IPv6, and granular control over the wireless signal will find the Asus RT-AC66U a delight...

The fastest wireless ac router yet, Excellent 802.11n speed and range, Intuitive user interface, Fast, simple setup and management
No USB 3.0 ports, Lacks true Cloud platform of D-Link/Linksys, Design not the most subtle
